His recital this year, performed on the Aeolian organ, will include music by Marcel Dupré and Petr Eben, as well as works based on seasonal carols. -----A staple of the Chapel Music calendar, the Organ Recital Series showcases internationally acclaimed organists performing beloved favorites, modern masterpieces, and original improvisations.
